Madison Is 37th 'Drunkest' Town In N.J., Report Says

This isn’t a list you’d probably brag about.

But Roadsnacks website, a data compiler that specializes in creating lists that rate communities on how ”snobby” or “redneck” they are, went there, compiling a list that rates the “drunkest” towns in several states - including New Jersey.

Roadsnacks.net, which recently provided a list of N.J. Towns with the highest rate of Ashley Madison ”cheaters,” has compiled a list of the ”drunkest” towns based on the number of available places to buy booze, and by how often people are talking about drinking. The list also includes each town’s divorce rate.

“Plus, we thought why not add in a stereotype?,” the site says. “Studies have indicated that when one or both partners in a marriage are alcoholics, that couple is three times more likely to divorce.”

Ironically, one of the towns on the list - Ocean City - is considered a “dry town,” meaning that alcoholic beverages aren’t sold at local businesses. Ocean City, however, does attract a number of young people who live in the community, and buy beer and liquor at establishments in nearby towns.

The study noted that New Jersey ”is right in the middle in the nation in terms of the amount of beer and spirits consumed every year.”
